Acute glomerulonephritis in children is a common disease of the urinary system, the cause of which is mostly post-streptococcal infection. A few cases have serious complications if not treated properly.

The goal of pharmacotherapy is to reduce morbidity and prevent complications. Drugs used in the treatment of chronic glomerulonephritis include angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs), diuretics, calcium channel blockers, beta-adrenergic blockers, and alpha-adrenergic agonists.
